Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
Through my liberal practice of DNFing, I mostly read books that I enjoyed. There were still a few books that disappointed me. I read each of these books in its entirety without enjoyment. The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry by C. M. Waggoner I have mostly wiped this book from my memory. All I remember… Continue reading Top Ten Least Favorite Books of 2022
I'm unlikely to discover a new favorite in the final days of December and if I do, I'll write an addendum. These are my top ten favorite books I read in the last year. The Councillor by E. J. Beaton How am I EVEN supposed to talk about this book? I really struggle with political… Continue reading Top Ten Favorite Books I Read in 2022
It's here. Taylor Swift's Midnights is finally here. And people have already created book tags in its honor. Three hours after the album's release, Taylor dropped a 3 AM edition with MORE SONGS. THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST INTENSE TAYLOR RELEASE OF MY LIFE THUS FAR. I'm doing both the Midnights Book Tag (Pt 1.)… Continue reading Midnights Book Tag
I have been doing my best not to think about climate change. Then we got 80-degree weather for almost a week in the middle of October. I would not like to be confronted with this reality, thank you.

It’s the end of the year! I guess! I feel like every year for the last while has been “a weird year.” This one, though, was definitely weird. For one, I’m at a new job that doesn’t make me want to die. I’ve read fewer books so far this year compared to last year. Erotica… Continue reading The End of the Year Book Tag

As requested [by Meghan], here is a picture my completely healed Piranesi tattoo. Do I have another tattoo planned? Not officially,… Continue reading September Wrap-Up: A change of pace
I survived a two-week heat wave. I'm now ready for fall. I found the Ice Lolly Book Tag (created by Louise @ Book Murmuration) over at AceReader. I had to google each of the sweets mentioned but they look and sound delicious. King cones with the chocolate bit at the end are still my favorite.… Continue reading The Ice Lolly Book Tag
Well. It's been a couple of weeks, that's for sure. I have been trying to ward off full-on panic for about a month with mixed success. As I mentioned in my last post, my brain is soup. One good thing happened last month: my niece Josie was born. She and my sister-in-law are doing great… Continue reading July Wrap-Up: Using ice on my vagus nerve 24/7
Fuck it. Times have been hard. Here's a book tag. Since finishing school, I've been playing a buttload of video games, including queer mainstay Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator. A good alternate title might be Subverting Stereotypes: The Game. I should do a Dad ranking one of these days because two of these daddies… Continue reading Dream Daddy Book Tag [ORIGINAL]
I made it to June, by golly. I've read 111 books thus far, 55.5% of my 200 book goal. Here are my reading highs and lows from the last six months.
